Next iMac.....before or after iphone release?

I think we will see new imacs before WWDC UNLESS they have a new form factor. If that's the case, then an intro at the keynote would be appropriate. If not, then I think we'll see them quietly given Santa Rosa some time in May, and WWDC will be all about the mac pro and the iphone.

I second this one.

Mac Pro?

I think that we will see new Mac Pros and iMacs at WWDC

I'm doubtful on a largely updated mac pro, what the heck would they do to it? It seems like it would be a very small update, not something big .

But as I understand after a new processor is out it takes a while, one or two months before it is implemented in a new computer, unless the Santa Rosa is already at Apple for installation before official release

After June.

Seems that Intel will have nothing new on the processor side until second half 2007, and even then whats comming is not that impressive for a desktop...which might mean Apple will change to desktop processors so they can offer Quad core models as expensive upgrades.

I would like the new model to be released tomorrow, however there is nothing new on the hardware side to upgrade...and iMacs at the moment are looking pretty expensive for what you get (for instance, consider the cost of Apple provided Ram and Disk upgrades).

I'm one of those persons that desperately needs to replace my G4 iMac lamp. It's really pathetic, but I don't want to do that until I know the iMac that is out will take FULL advantage of all the features that Leopard will offer.

I hear ya; however, I don't think Leopard is going to require hardware beyond what is on today's iMac. When Apple has updated the OS to the point that older macs couldn't keep up, those macs were generally two generations old. I am waiting for the Santa Rosa update. Not because I think Santa Rosa is so incredible, but because I don't have to have a new mac this second and there will be a SR update in a few months.
